Chiefs v Crusaders
-
@Stargazer on ya bro. Sorry no time stamp - but when I went to watch it again I thought I was going mad as the replay wasn't coming up - then I kept watching after the whistle and it's at least a couple of minutes after.
@Bones Maybe this is the reason why there was no further sanction. I can't see whether his fist hits Strange's face, maybe it didn't, but Jordie wasn't quite so innoncent in that scuffle. Strange's punch came after Jordie's (attempted or successful) punch.

Meanwhile, first five-eighth Aaron Cruden has been promoted to start in his 100th match for the franchise, with coach Warren Gatland admitting not using him off the bench in the 33-31 defeat to the Highlanders a fortnight back was to try and manipulate it so that the milestone match was on home turf.We seem to be glossing over this point, but WTF? Why did you pick the bloke??!!
Are all the poor bastards who went to the game or put money on the Chiefs ok with this wonderful sentiment?

“If we were right up there at the top, you probably wouldn’t have taken it into consideration,” Gatland said of the sentimental call, with his team already out of the running for the title at the time.*

But the evidence that Gatland is a shithouse coach in a week in week out competition is so clear that it's sadly no surprise to read...

@Stargazer geezuz mate, you'll go to the ends of the earth for this team.
-
@Bones I would have done the same thing if this had been a scuffle between Matt Duffie and Par Pari Parkinson, or Sean Wainui and James Blackwell. I just want the truth.
@Stargazer reckon it was probably only yellow card worthy.

I wonder if the TAB is taking odds on which refereeing technicality Gatland will whinge about after our next defeat.

I imagine they want to stay in business.

@Bones You're just trolling, but look at the footage if you don't believe me. Image by image. But we may have to take this to the proper thread. :winking_face:
I don't believe you and neither does Barrett's nose. I know they have maaaad skills but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have the ability to scrunch his nose up like that to avoid that fist landing on it.
It seems you're the one trolling.

@Stargazer said in Chiefs v Crusaders:
@Bones I never said that Strange's arm didn't touch his nose. I just said that I didn't see a striking motion of his arm. It could - for example - have happened when he lost his balance in the ruck and fell, and in that motion his arm connected with Jordie's nose who was lying on the ground. But that's just guessing, because - as I said - the footage is unclear/doesn't show it.
Brilliant. His nose started bleeding after it was struck by Strange. Pretty simple. What did Strange go to the bin for?i've found footage of it. sickening

Can I see another angle please?

Look at that big bully Jordie picking on the shorter Strange.

You wouldn't catch the single digits having handbags like that.

Great to see Taavao and Ah Kuoi back. I feel like Vaai should have way more than 5 next to his name!

@Bones He got yellow because the AR said he saw him striking(?) (I don't remeber the exact word he used) Jordie with his (fore)arm. Maybe the Citing Commissioner, after watching other camera angles - concluded that the AR was wrong, or that it was completely accidental, or that it was so low-end that it didn't require a citing and that the yellow card was enough.
I don't know why it's so hard to grasp. Look at the footage yourself, and you'll see it's very unclear what happened when Jordie was at the bottom of that pile of bodies.

I may have made it up in my mind but wasn't there a shot in replay of Strange connecting with Jordie while holding his collar while standing up? Jersey punch thing like they do in AFL.
